Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Matador Resources Company (the “Company”) held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) on June 7, 2012. On the April 26, 2012 record date, there were 55,507,543 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding with each such share being entitled to one vote per share of common stock.

A total of 40,926,753 shares of the Company’s common stock were represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The number of votes cast for, against, or withheld, as well as abstentions and broker non-votes, as applicable, with respect to each matter is set forth below.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

The shareholders elected two Class I directors, each for a three-year term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2015 and until the election and qualification of their respective successors or their earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal.

Proposal 2: Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

The shareholders approved the non-binding advisory resolution approving the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

Proposal 3: Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Holding Future Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation

In light of these results and consistent with the Company’s recommendation on this matter, the Company will hold non-binding advisory votes to approve the compensation of its named executive officers every year until the next required non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes approving the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers or until the Company’s Board of Directors determines otherwise.

Proposal 4: Proposal to Approve the Adoption of the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan
